  1. Hi all, I'm selling my Human Base Roxy B5 to make space for an incoming Maruszczyk, so I need to free up some funds! This is a lovely, resonant, and surprisingly versatile bass! The pickup switching and EQ is really powerful and it's pretty hard to get a bad sound. The low B is solid and strong. This is a pretty reluctant sale and will be sorely missed! - Swamp Ash Body - Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard - 24 frets and 34" scale - Nut width 45 mm - Highly adjustable string spacing at the bridge (can go from just under 17mm to just over 19mm) - Delano Xtender pickup - Series/parallel/single coil switch - Active Glockenklang 3-Band Preamp (treble knob is tone control in passive mode) - zero-fret - Gotoh 350 res-o-lite tuners - 4kg (8.8 lbs) on my luggage scales with great balance seated or on a strap The condition is pretty good, there are some minor scratches on the pickguard and a little buckle rash on the back, but it's hard to see due to the finish. Comes with a padded Human Base gig bag. I'm looking for £750 inc. UK postage. Happy to drive up to an hour away from Leeds to meet a potential buyer. Let me know if you have any questions.
  2. Hi all, I'm selling this lovely Sandberg Electra bass as I will have a Maruszczyk incoming soon, so I need to free up some funds. I got this last year from @Raslee who had it from new, and it's still in excellent condition! It has a jazz width (37mm) neck which is incredibly comfortable to play, zero fret and can easily get a lovely low action. Since I've had the bass, I've made a couple of upgrades - I added some of Sandberg's own super light tuners which are incredibly smooth and have knocked the weight down to just under 8 lbs on my luggage scales and great balance on a strap or seated. The preamp now has active/ passive bypass, with a passive tone control that works in active and passive mode. The original 2 band bass and treble from the preamp have been moved to a stacked knob. It has Sandberg's own P pickup which is great, I felt no need to upgrade this at all! I 3D printed my own thumb rest which can be easily removed if desired. This is an insane instrument for the money, I was blown away by how good it is at this price point! I'm looking for £450 inc. UK postage. Happy to drive up to an hour away from Leeds to meet a potential buyer. Comes with a padded gig bag. Let me know if you have any questions I'll include the link to the original listing (condition is the same!).

  4. Congrats Luke, that looks like a stunner! Looks like it was worth the wait
  5. Ben brought (another) bass from me, as before, he was a pleasure to deal with! Thanks and enjoy!
  6. Pete brought a bridge off me, fast communication and a pleasure to deal with! I would highly recommend
  7. Aidan brought a xtender from me, fast payment and a pleasure to deal with! Thanks!
  8. Hi all, I'm selling my workhorse of a Mexican Fender Precision bass! I brought this new in 2018 and tested six different P basses in the shop at the time, including the newly introduced player series. Out of the bunch, this one was the most resonant and lively sounding, so it came home with me! It has an Alder body and maple neck and fingerboard. Since then it's had a number of upgrades as follows: - Delano PMVC 4FE/M2 pickup - Hipshot HB7 tuners - Fender hi-mass brass bridge - Luminlay side dots professionally installed - Fret level and dress professionally done last year - Custom 3D printed thumb rest (designed and manufactured myself) - Comes with two different tort pickguards and one that's matte black (see pics) This is a killer bass for the price, the Delano pickup has a pretty hot output and always sounds great in the mix in all styles. It plays really well and the neck profile isn't too chunky, more slim and flat, the nut width is 40mm. The thumb rest can be removed easily as it's only held on by the pickguard mounting screws. It's in good condition, there are a few cosmetic marks on the bottom of the body and your standard mark on the top of the headstock, but I struggled to find anything else worth mentioning. No issues with the neck or truss rod. The bass weighs 4 kg (8.82 lbs) and balances very well seated or on a strap. I'm looking for £450 for this bass. I can ship in a chunky soft case within the UK, although collection from Leeds or meet up half way would be preferred. Please message me if you have any questions
  9. Hi all, for sale is my Hipshot A style bridge. This is the brass version in chrome with the Fender mount (FM1) non-string thru mounting. It is in like new condition and has only been fitted to a bass for a couple of weeks. I'm looking for £50 inc. UK postage. Let me know if you have any questions
  10. Hi all, for sale is my Hipshot BT7 Xtender, direct fit for Fender MIM basses among others. Good condition and full working order, looking for £50 inc. UK postage. Let me know if you have any questions
  11. Ben brought a bass from me, fast communication throughout and fast payment. A pleasure to deal with, I would highly recommend!
  12. Indeed, I've done something similar! I also have a 3D printer so I made my own thumb rest that attaches to the pickguard mounting screws. It makes it much easier to change your tone by moving your hand position when you can anchor your thumb anywhere. I'm also happy to help out with a solution if you need it
  13. This has now sold!! Thanks for your interest everyone
  14. I brought a Sandberg Electra from Lee and couldn't recommend him enough. Fast and honest communication, packaged very well and a great chap to deal with! Deal with confidence!
  15. Thanks for the kind words gents! It was very interesting comparing the Atelier and the Sadowsky Metro back to back, definitely in the same ballpark build quality wise but tonally different beasts! To my ears, the Sadowsky was more rounded and polite, but you could dial in some aggression with that wonderful pre-amp, whereas the Atelier was definitely more punchy and ballsy. Both fantastic instruments depending on what kind of jazz bass 'flavour' you're after, but it's also possible to dial in some similar tones, they are both jazz basses after all!
  16. I'm just around the corner in Bramley if you want to come and have a try
  17. Also worth mentioning - I'll be travelling down to the Birmingham area early next week if that's convenient any potential buyers
  18. Hi all, Never thought this day would come, but I'm looking to sell my beautiful Atelier-Z. Since rehearsals and gigs have come back in full swing, I've realised that I'm always reaching for my 5 or 6 string as they make my life a lot easier for most of my bands. For that reason, I've only ever played this at home, which is a massive waste as this is hands down the best jazz bass I've every played! The specs are as follows: - Chambered body (alder back/figured ash top) - Maple neck with light ebony board (block and bound) - Atelier-Z pickups in the 70's positions - Atelier-Z tone circuit (volume/volume/treble/bass) with push/pull active/passive - Gotoh bridge (19mm spacing) and light weight tuners - Weighs only 3.7 kg! (8.15 lbs) These are made in Tokyo and to a very high standard! The neck is dead straight and easy to adjust, the truss rod moves smoothly and responds quickly. Fretwork is impeccable and it's currently setup with a nice low action. The EQ is very musical and really easy to dial in some great tones, and really nails that Marcus Miller thing if that's your cup of tea! Now SOLD No trades at the moment, thanks! Let me know if you have any questions! My feedback thread -
  19. Thanks for the interest everyone, this has now sold!
  20. Indeed, hard to know what they're worth, the prices vary pretty wildly on eBay!
